My ideal chocolate chip cookie is baked just long enough that the dough melts into flat cookie-esque rounds. There should be minimal crispiness (and thus maximal raw cookie doughness). Some local cafés have hopped on board, serving ice cream cones filled high with scoops of pure cookie dough, but these are often laden with butter and sugar. So in the name of creating a popsicle reminiscent of everyone’s favorite guilty pleasure (with a lot less of the guilt), we’re turning to almonds to bring our cookie dough fantasies to life.

Tip: Drop a few chocolate chips into your mold after you fill them with the almond mixture. If you notice they sink to the bottom, freeze the mixture first for an hour, then add the chips and insert the sticks, returning to the freezer until completely frozen.

Recipe: Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough

Difficulty

 Yields: about 2 cups, 8 (2-oz.) pops

  • 1 cup milk (can substitute dairy-free)
  • ½ cup finely ground almond flour
  • ½ cup almond butter
  • 2 Tbsp packed brown sugar (can substitute no-calorie sweetener)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt
  • ¼ cup dark or milk chocolate chips
1. Combine all ingredients except chocolate chips in a blender until evenly mixed.
2. Pour into molds, leaving a little space at the top for them to expand. Sprinkle in chocolate chips (you can add more or less, depending on how chocolatey you want your pops). Insert sticks and freeze until hard (at least 4 hours).
3. Run the mold under warm water for a few seconds to loosen them up, then remove from mold.
